Uploading Direct Materials Data

---

When uploading new part data, you can replace (or "refresh") the existing posting, or you can leave the existing posting the way it is and add more items to it.

You can reach the Upload page by clicking the Upload button on the PartBridge home page.

1. Determine whether your new file will replace the existing file or simply add to it.
2. Click the Browse button on the Upload page to locate the file you want to upload.
3. Navigate to the correct folder on your local drive and select the appropriate file in the Choose File box.
4. After selecting the file to upload, you have two choices:
   • If you want to replace the previous file with this new file, click the Replace All Postings button, then click OK in the "Are you sure...?" box. Many users like to think of this process as "refreshing all the postings."
   • Click the Add to Postings button if you want to keep the existing list and add more items to it.

After the file upload is complete, the Message Center updates its number of new postings.

To view all current postings, click the Postings lines in the Message Center or navigate to the Postings screens using the Buy menu and Sell menu.
